Re: [xwiki-users] What would you like to see in the XWiki 7.x cycle?

Hi, Something I just met - as it's an "improvement" proposal I thought I

propose it here, but I may just create a jira if you think it's

Would be great if there could be an option, in Attachments tab at pages bottom, to display attachments as a grid of thumbnails, instead of just

list. The best would be to by default reach current Attachments view, when clicking on Attachments tab (because it shows fastly), then have a

flag, button, or whatever, to choose a "thumbnail" view. This "thumbnail" view, could be the exact same kind of view as proposed

Attachments Selector Macro [1]. BTW it could be nice that this {{attachmentSelector/}} could be used as

could rely on another extension that) merely displays attachments,

concept of saving the attachment name in a property in an XObject ...

Use-case sample: when you import a .doc document, all images are set as attachments with automatic naming. Without thumbnail, it's quite hard

to retrieve a specific attachment without opening all of them one by
